Kitchen Ideas & Inspiration

Located in a townhouse, the kitchen’s custom wooden cabinets are a sleek touch with the burners set right below small glass windows. You can choose to eat at the wooden table, island seating, or take meals out in the adjoining patio with verdant landscaping. Use the walls and keep things nice and open by hanging plenty of storage hooks like these black rail and hooks used to store mugs. It means you have all your mugs on display and easy to grab for a cup of tea, and along with open shelving it’s a way to avoid upper cabinets, which can sometimes feel a little heavy in a tight space.
- And they carry the same colors or material finish from one area to the next to create a cohesive feeling throughout.
- For an authentic farmhouse look, consider vintage or vintage-inspired wooden cabinets.
- In this open kitchen and dining area, large swaths of white create continuity and a clean look.
- Clean lines, light wood tones, leather accents, polished concrete flooring, contemporary lighting, and industrial-style black metal framed picture windows create a balanced mix of cool and warm tones.
- Southern farmhouse style kitchens have deep roots in classic English countryside style kitchens, and this kitchen shows that tie perfectly.
A well-equipped kitchen sink with space either side for draining is useful. ‘Get the largest sink you can fit,’ advises chef and food writer Judi Rose, brand ambassador for Franke. To help you decide on the most suitable extension for your needs, start by asking your kitchen designer for advice. Kitchen extensions are now a common request, so many kitchen companies will be able to recommend a good builder or architect to help bring your kitchen ideas to life. It’s also worth asking friends and family for recommendations of tradesmen in your area.
